Recently, mobile embedded systems used widly in various applications. Managing power consumption is becoming a matter of primary concern because those systems use limited power supply. As an approach reduce power consumption, voltage can be scaled down. according to the execution time and deadline. By reducing the supplying voltage to 1/N power consumption can be reduced to 1/N. DPM-S is a well known method for dynamic voltage scaling. In this paper, we enhanced DPM-S by using average execution time aggressively. The frequency of processor is calculated based in average execution time instead of worst case execution time. Simulation results show that our method achieve up to 5％ energy savings than DPM-S.

In this paper, we present a time-triggered mechanism for providing energy consumption profiles in the level of C functions. The similar mechanisms have already been introduced at the previous researches such as PowerScope and ePRO. Instead, we, in this paper, introduce our efforts to extend these researches to incorporate power domains and DVS(Dynamic Voltage Scaling), then to provide GUI-based tool as a plug-in to ESTO which is an IDE for Embedded S/W development based on Eclipse. From our experimental results, we could conclude that our approach worked and produced consistent energy consumption profiles on the DVS-applied program codes, and also displayed function level and time domain power consumption information with diverse presentation skills such as tables, phi-chart, bar-chart, 2-D graphs, consequently, is expected to provide more ease-to-use and productive IDE for lower power embedded S/W developers.

본 논문에서는 0.13㎛ 이하의 deep sub-micron 공정처럼 누설 전류가 심한 공정을 이용하여 멀티미디어 SoC를 설계할 때, 가장 전력 소모가 높은 움직임 추정 기법의 전력 소모를 줄이기 위한 저전력 움직임 추정기의 아키텍쳐를 제안하였다. 제안하는 아키텍쳐는 기존의 동적 전력 소모만을 고려한 구조와는 달리 정적 전력 소모까지 고려하여 누설 전류가 심한 공정에 적합한 구조로, 효율적인 전력 관리가 필수적인 동영상 전화기 등의 각종 휴대용 정보기기 단말기에 적합한 형태이다. 제안하는 아키텍쳐는 하드웨어 구현이 용이한 전역 탐색 기법 (full search)을 기본으로 하며 동적 전력 소모를 줄이기 위하여 조기 은퇴(early break-off) 기법을 도입하였다. 또한 정적 전력 소모를 줄이기 위하여 전원선 잡음을 고려한 메가블록 전원 차단 기법을 사용하였다. 제안된 아키텍쳐를 멀티미디어 SoC에 적용하였을 때의 효용성을 검증하기 위해 시스템 수준의 제어 흐름과 저전력 제어 기법을 개발하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 시스템 수준에서의 소모 전력을 계산하였다. 모의실험 결과 0.13㎛ 공정에서 전력 소모가 50% 정도로 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 선폭의 감소와 칩 내부 발열량의 증가로 인한 누설 전류의 증가를 고려할 때, 기존의 동적 전력 소모만을 고려한 구조는 전력 감소 효율이 점점 나빠짐에 반하여 제안하는 움직임 추정기 아키텍쳐는 안정적인 전력 감소 효율을 보여주었다.

This paper describes a study of conventional electrical rig and simulated application of Flywheel Energy Storage system on the power system of the offshore plants with dynamic positioning system with the following aims: improve fuel consumption on engines, prevent blackout and mitigate voltage sags due to pulsed load and fault. Fuel consumption has been analyzed for the generators of the typical drilling rigs compared with the power plant with Flywheel Storage Unit which has an important aid in avoiding power interruption during DP (Dynamic Positioning) operation. The FES (Fly wheel Energy storage System) releases energy very quickly and efficiently to ensure continuity of the power supply to essential consumers such as auxiliary machinery and thrusters upon main power failure. It will run until the standby diesel generator can start and supply the electric power to the facilities to keep the vessel in correct position under DP operation. The proposed backup method to utilize the quick and large energy storage Flywheel system can be optimized in any power system design on offshore plant.

In multifiber all-optical networks, optical amplifiers are used for amplifying multiple optical signals with different wavelengths in fibers. An optical amplifier operates when any of lightpaths passes through it. Therefore, it should simultaneously amplify as many lightpaths as possible for efficiently utilizing its power. This paper proposes a dynamic lightpath establishment scheme considering the use efficiency of the optical amplifiers and the depletion of the wavelength resources in multifiber all-optical networks. The proposed scheme provides a routing and wavelength assignment strategy that reduces both the power consumption of the optical amplifiers and the blocking probability of the lightpath establishment. Through simulation experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Electric boilers (EBs) are the backup steam source for the auxiliary steam system of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants. When the plant is in normal operations, the EB is always in hot standby status. However, the current hot standby operation strategy has problems of slow response, high power consumption, and long operation time. To solve these problems, this study focuses on the optimization of hot standby operations for the EB system. First, mathematical models of an electrode immersion EB and its accompanying deaerator were established. Then, a control simulation platform of the EB system was developed in MATLAB/Simulink implementing the established mathematical models and corresponding control systems. Finally, two optimization strategies for the EB hot standby operation were proposed, followed by dynamic simulations of the EB system transient from hot standby to normal operations. The results indicate that the proposed optimization strategies can significantly speed up the transient response of the EB system from hot standby to normal operations and reduce the power consumption in hot standby operations, improving the dynamic performance and economy of the system.

Cloud computing offers a wide range of on-demand resources over the internet. Utility-based resource allocation in cloud data centers significantly increases the number of cloud users. Heavy usage of cloud data center encounters many problems such as sacrificing system performance, increasing operational cost and high-energy consumption. Therefore, the result of the system damages the environment extremely due to heavy carbon (CO2) emission. However, dynamic allocation of energy-efficient resources in cloud data centers overcomes these problems. In this paper, we have proposed Energy and Service Level Agreement (SLA) Aware Resource Allocation Heuristic Algorithms. These algorithms are essential for reducing power consumption and SLA violation without diminishing the performance and Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cloud data centers. Our proposed model is organized as follows: a) SLA violation detection model is used to prevent Virtual Machines (VMs) from overloaded and underloaded host usage; b) for reducing power consumption of VMs, we have introduced Enhanced minPower and maxUtilization (EMPMU) VM migration policy; and c) efficient utilization of cloud resources and VM placement are achieved using SLA-aware Modified Best Fit Decreasing (MBFD) algorithm. We have validated our test results using CloudSim toolkit 3.0.3. Finally, experimental results have shown better resource utilization, reduced energy consumption and SLA violation in heterogeneous dynamic cloud environment.
